Oath of Office
Suresh said:
Our oath should also include
\"That I shall do all I can and raise my voice as loudly as I can, to rid anyone who usurps the office for their personal gain, over the nations interest\", such as we are going through at present with self grandiose TRUMP.
He has destroyed democracy forever.
May what this represent be in your heart and mind forever.

That Daft Fly
Suresh said:
While we may swat one fly, or many because we can, remember that daft fly can cause havoc in one or many of us.
Enjoyable read

Thank you Orchidee. That’s why Jesus gave us the Church: something to hold onto when the sands start shifting.

I Stood and Died
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Christian’s seek love Outback. No one in their right mind seeks martyrdom as an end game goal. But when it comes, and it comes today, in many forms, as it came during the time of our Lord, Christ prepares the persecuted one to endure: be it a horrific, torturous, death. Death has been conquered my friend; it no longer has the final word.

It’s A Dangerous World
Gary Edward Geraci said:
And that’s another part of the defense strategy Orchidee: always see behind the pretty picture - the “hey” the “how’s it going” DM that follows - always see behind it the corpulent sweaty guy in his underpants trying to get to your wallet -

Gary Edward Geraci said:
The paragon of manhood is Christ and not the corpulent sweaty guy in his underpants sifting through his illicitly gained collection of young female pictorials like a stack of baseball cards. Come to the defense of these - see them as they truly are - sisters, daughters, mothers, wives - children of God and then you begin to “man up” brother.

This Time
Gary Edward Geraci said:
“The less-instructed atheist will ask whether God can make a weight so heavy that He cannot lift it, in the happy belief that, whichever answer we give, we shall admit that there is something God cannot do. But the question is literally meaningless: a weight that an omnipotent Being cannot lift is as complete a contradiction in terms as a four-sided triangle. In either case the words are English, but do not mean anything because they cancel each other out. There is no point in piling together a lot of words, regardless of their meaning, and then asking triumphantly “Can God make that?” God can do anything, but a contradiction in terms is not a thing at all. It is nothing.“ (ibid)

“A four-sided triangle, for instance, is in this sense inconceivable. It is a contradiction in terms, because a triangle is a three-sided figure; and a four-sided three-sided figure cannot be conceived and cannot be.” Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed

Climbing steps implies a journey of sorts...
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Thanks Orchidee. - Yes - through the lenses of my faith as a practicing Catholic: in communion with the Magisterium and according to Christ’s teaching through the light of sacred Scripture, I believe the bread and wine is transubstantiated into the body, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ! Miraculous and a wonderful sign of our Lord’s continued act of humility in remaining here with us as He promised. Matthew 28:20.

I get angry with God at times, as other do. We might even say the F word. Sometimes it\'s just used out of laziness though.

A fine write Gary. He, the Holy Ghost was sent about 2,000 years ago. I know some, me included, may get Him out His \'box\' around Pentecost for a while, then put Him to bed for another year, as it were.
Oh we know the joke: Little child says: \'Don\'t want to go to church; don\'t want to meet the Ghost!\'

Aftermath
orchidee said:
I find it rather cryptic this. I feel I have the general idea of it. Yes - numinous too. Man\'s longing for something, or better still someone, outside of him/her self.
Seeing as we are made in the image and likeness of God.
Pity my singing is not much in His \'likeness\' (heehee) - can it be helped?! More like the likeness of two cats fighting (Oh it\'s not that bad!).

Outback I thought you’d at least approve of my use of the “*” in this piece. It is indeed most curious: the longing of mankind for the numinous! Does that not in itself point to some transcendental horizon?

Erroneous Leanings that Sexual Impulse Leads the Human Person

“Mere creatures” - I picked up that gem while on a silent, 3 day retreat this past weekend. Furthermore - I couldn’t pass up on the anagram between: “we’re” and “mere” [inverting the “w” almost gives a “m” (definitely in my own sloppy handwriting style) a nice play on these man-made symbols that we call words Outback].

Good write Gary. I won\'t give stuff to my (non-existent) dog, Fido, then. He sniffs out poems that should be marked 18+, where some naughty people don\'t tick the 18+ box!
OK, I won\'t cast my jewels to the pigs in me pig sty, out me back yard. Erm, methinks I not quite got the hang of this poem\'s theme! (lol).

A Charitable, Certainly Not Curt, Way To Respond To One’s Detractors
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Thank you Diamond - I’d say some of the bitterest, most anti-Catholic venom I’ve witnessed, comes from former Catholics. You are gentle by comparison. Thank you for your perspectives. One cannot move toward the Lord until one first corresponds to the grace our Lord gives as he calls one’s soul into conversion. And you’re right: one can’t trade one’s vice in the same way one trades a car (referring to your comment in your poem “Hoax”). One can do nothing alone but one can do the impossible, including the losing of a vice to a virtue, with God’s grace. Prayers sister...May you find true joy in your heart!
